Mastering Your Financial Freedom – Accountability System
1 Day Seminar
Every day you get up and go to work to make money. Every month you get paid and it seems you can never make enough; things are just getting more and more expensive. And yet you see people driving expensive and exclusive cars, living in beautiful houses, you see great parents that can provide more for their children than they ever had; parents who set up their children for a life of not settling for saying, “Sorry, I cannot afford it”.
I have been doing that also for years and I make a lot of money, but I am still not living the life I want. The scary thing is that I am a Chartered Accountant and Peak Performance Coach. So as an accountant and coach surely I should know how to become rich? You see, that is just my point. Being able to make money does not mean you know how to become – and stay – rich.
I believe that success leaves clues. Therefore I go to seminars and learn from the best people in the world. The question is: who is living the life of your dreams and what are they doing that you are not? If you are doing what they are doing, you should get the same results.
So what am I saying? There is a way to become financially free and it is not how much money you can make. Research has shown, over and over again, that people who win the lotto go back to the same financial position they were in before they won the lotto. So it must be clear that the first step to financial freedom is mind-set.
But mind-set alone will not get you to financial freedom. That is why, over the last 12 years as a coach and an accountant, I have developed the I E Pyramid of Success.
In the IE Pyramid of Success we focus on three core areas:
Coaching | Strategy | Accountability
I have used this success formula in both personal development and in building businesses. But for the last two years something has really bothered me in both my own circumstances and that of my clients. Why are we making money – some of us substantial money – but we are still not financially free? I started studying really rich people, and not how they make money, because I have been doing that for many years. Making money is easy but I wanted to know, how do they become financially free?
The day I discovered this, it was a moment of “of course that is the way!” I realised that I have known this for many years but I was not mastering it. The I E Pyramid of Success is exactly how all financially free people achieved financial freedom. We are creatures of habit and we need to develop habits of becoming rich.
It is not the amount of money you earn that will make you financially free – it is what you do with your money.
I decided to develop a product to hold people accountable in order for them to build the right habits and become financially free. I have taken what I have learned from all the books and seminars and used a system (the how) on what you need to do with your money. I further brought in my accounting experience in order to hold people accountable for their financial freedom.
As accountants we are always focusing on doing books for businesses and individuals, mostly for the tax authorities. That is backwards thinking and you can never become financially free with doing books like that. If you want to be successful in something, you need to be held accountable. For example, if you are on a diet and you don’t measure your results on a consistent basis, how do you know if it is working? Some people say, “I feel better and my clothes are not tight”. Well, that is a result!
